All About The Buttons

All About The Buttons is located in Greer, South Carolina.

Barbara the owner of "All About The Buttons" loves to create. She said since she was a child, she have always been busy with various forms of fiber work including knitting, crochet, needlepoint, embroidery and weaving. Alongside of those interests was that famous old cookie tin of buttons that she loved to play with. 

After a fulfilling career in education followed by the ease of online selling, she now devote myself full-time to combining fibers and buttons. She also love and make clocks, magnets and bookmarks. She love special orders so please don't hesitate to ask. She is proud of her 100% feedback selling online with several hundred items off to new homes.

In April 2007 a book called Button!Button! was published and several of her creations were included (pictures below). It was a very exciting experience.

 

Description

Felt and flowers just seem to go together.
Barbara have a huge stack of felt sheets and shapes and my first instinct was a flower which morphed into a pin. The base is lime green felt with purple petals atop. A clear button holds a deep orange floral button. The closing is a standard pin-back.  Looks great on many colors and can go on t-shirts, sweaters, lapels, even your purse. It measures about 2 1/2" (6cm) across. AllAboutTheButtons-artwork

Description

Barbara fell in love with this zebra "paper"....it really feels more like velvet fabric with texture. In the 12, 3, 6 and 9 places are black and white brads.

The hands are black and the clock mechanism is quartz. There is a loop in the back for hanging or it can be placed on an easel as shown which is not included. One AA battery is!   Please note: she pack her clocks very carefully and have never had any breakage.

Soft and warm...what more do you need on a chilly day? This was knit with a black yarn that has bits of turquoise and deep pink. It can be rolled down or cuffed. Fun and warm!  It is machine wash cold and lay flat to dry.
